Film Classification

Australian law requires that all films screened for public exhibition are classified by the Australian Classification Board.

Along with classification there are laws and regulations which govern the playing of films, the playing of trailers, the display of film advertising materials, the types of classification information that must be displayed, the age at which patrons may be admitted to public screenings of films and the type of films that can be shown in public screenings.

For more detailed information about how to comply with the laws regarding classification, the Australian Classification Board's website can be accessed by CLICKING HERE

Independent Cinemas Australia worked with the classification board by consulting on issues which affect cinemas and passing on information and updates.

Correctly formatted classification markings can now be accessed on the individual entries in the National Classification Database search on the homepage and there is now a downloadable markings generator available here.
